number six, many federal programs harm the environment. farm subsidies, water subsidies by the department of interior, sugar subsidies have greatly damaged the everglades in florida. there are many other examples. number seven, many federal programs as everyone knows are mismanaged and fraud ridden. this is nothing new. if you look at some of the oldest federal programs, even in a 19th century, there was a scandal after scandal with federal spending programs. army corps of engineers projects for example, back 150 years were scandal plagued. they ran over budget. they were porkbarrel. these problems are nothing new in washington. they go right back to the beginning. and, finally, number a, many federal programs simply don't work. you can look, for example, at a federal job training programs which were put in place by john f. kennedy half a century ago. these programs have never work. every decade or so the gao comes along and find essentially that they don't work. and again these sorts of problems go back many, many decades. if you look at

the republican party is now focused on trying to be responsible about what kind of fiscal environment we leave to our children and grandchildren, which i think is good in general terms. and so we're very worried about the deficit and what kind of deficit we're going to be leaving to our heirs. there is a national security deficit that is growing and that will continue to grow. of it's a particularly american conceit that the world goes away or stops when we stop paying attention to it. the fact of the matter is that the problems that we see in the world will not go away. we don't cause them by looking at them, and we can't stop them by ignoring them. the enemies who want to kill us -- and it's amazing to me how comfortably we forget the fact that there are large groups including the entire state of iran where leaders wake up every or day and ask themselves what can i do to kill americans today? that's not a period of wars receding. but back to consensus reality, if we agree that it is, then we will leave for our children an incredibly dangerous world. we will have missed many opportun
